India’s restrictions on Chinese applications are continuing. The nation, possessing the second-largest internet user base globally, has prohibited over 175 apps connected to China in recent months and announced on Tuesday the blocking of an additional 43.

Similar to prior directives, India justified these blocks by referencing cybersecurity risks. According to a statement released by India’s IT Ministry, “This decision was made following information regarding these applications engaging in actions detrimental to India’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, its defense, state security, and public order.”

The ministry clarified that the blocking order was issued “following thorough reports from the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Center and the Ministry of Home Affairs.”

Among the applications now prohibited are Snack Video, a widely-used short video platform supported by Tencent that recently achieved significant popularity, alongside e-commerce application AliExpress, delivery service Lalamove, and the shopping application Taobao Live. A complete listing of the blocked apps can be found here. Currently, it appears that no Chinese application remains within the top 500 most utilized apps in India.

This latest order arrives as several applications, including PUBG Mobile and TikTok – both of which previously designated India as their largest international market – are investigating potential avenues for re-entry into the country. PUBG, in recent weeks, has established a local subsidiary in India, formed a partnership with Microsoft for cloud computing services, and publicly committed to a $100 million investment within the nation. They are currently awaiting a response from the government, according to sources who spoke with TechCrunch.

Relations between the world’s two most populous countries became strained following a military confrontation in the Himalayas in June, resulting in the deaths of over 20 Indian soldiers. Since then, a “Boycott China” movement has gained traction on Indian social media, with numerous individuals sharing videos depicting the destruction of Chinese-manufactured smartphones, televisions, and other goods.

In April, India also revised its foreign investment regulations, mandating that Chinese investors – who have invested substantial capital in Indian startups – obtain approval from New Delhi before making further investments in Indian companies. This change has notably decreased the involvement of Chinese investors in funding rounds for Indian startups in the subsequent months.
